[1] Glenmede Investment Management LP (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its Management Fee so that the Management Fee is 0.85% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets and to waive an additional portion of its Management Fee and/or reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that total annual operating expenses of the Portfolio’s Institutional Shares exceed 1.05% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio’s Institutional Shares (excluding Acquired Fund fees and expenses, short sale dividends, prime broker interest, brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, and extraordinary expenses). The Advisor has contractually agreed to these waivers and/or reimbursements until at least February 28, 2026 and may discontinue this arrangement at any time thereafter. This contractual fee waiver agreement may not be terminated before February 28, 2026 without the approval of The Glenmede Fund, Inc.’s (the “Fund”) Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio’s Institutional Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same, taking into account the fee waiver in the first year of each period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Portfolio shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. The Portfolio may actively trade portfolio securities to achieve its principal investment strategies. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 99% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Using quantitative analysis, under normal market circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in long and short positions with respect to equity securities, such as common stocks, of public companies tied economically to the U.S. The Advisor considers a company to be tied economically to the U.S. if the company: 1) is organized under the laws of the U.S., 2) maintains its principal place of business in the U.S., 3) is traded principally in the U.S. or 4) at the time of purchase, is included in a U.S. equity index managed by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or FTSE Russell (“Russell”). The Portfolio will invest in companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, that are within the market capitalization range of any stock in the Russell 3000® Index. That capitalization range was $8.2 million to $3.8 trillion as of December 31, 2024.
The Advisor’s selection of securities to buy, sell or borrow is based on a combination of proprietary multifactor computer models and fundamental analysis. The computer models rank securities based on certain criteria, including valuation ratios, profitability and earnings related measures, and material environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, and other models focus on risk analysis and overall portfolio characteristics. The Advisor takes long positions in securities that the models identify as undervalued and more likely to appreciate, and takes short positions in equity securities that the Advisor identifies as overvalued and more likely to depreciate. The Advisor will determine the size of each long or short position and its impact on the risk to the overall portfolio. The frequency and size of short sales will vary substantially in different periods as market opportunities change. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will generally have an operating target of 60-140 long positions that may range from 75% to 100% of net assets and 40-120 short positions that may range from 50% to 95% of net assets from time to time. The Portfolio may actively trade its securities to achieve its principal investment strategies.
Principal Investment Risks
Performance Information
The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Portfolio’s Institutional Shares has varied from year to year. The table shows how the average annual total returns for one year, five years and since inception of the Portfolio’s Institutional Shares compare to those of selected market indices. The Portfolio’s past performance, before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future. Performance reflects fee waivers in effect. If fee waivers were not in place, the Portfolio’s performance would be reduced. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.glenmedeim.com or by calling 1-800-442-8299.
